2011’s Best Books—
Or Just a Great Reading List

By Haroon Moghul

…captivating essays, each devoted to places like Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, and the United States. His descriptions of how the crisis unfolded differently in different places are powerful, easily digestible, and deeply aggravating. In concluding, you will probably want to go and reoccupy Wall Street. My only qualm comes from the speed with which Boomerang was published. The book would’ve really benefited from more of an attempt to tie toge…

Dispatches From the Site of a Massacre

By Haroon Moghul

…amist government, a Muslim nation that’s been a member of NATO longer than Germany or Spain. Many question whether Turkey has now “abandoned” the West; I wonder whether the question itself is more revealing than any presumed answer. Then I’ll head to Bosnia, where America came to the rescue of a Muslim people who resemble puddles left by a receded tide, stranded in a new Europe that has little room in its imagination for them. My journey is deeply…

Looking at Death: Images of 9/11, Before, During, and After

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…evidence as the advancing Allied armies captured camps. With the armies in Germany were four Life photographers whose pictures are presented on these pages. The things they show are horrible. They are printed for the reason stated seven years ago when, in publishing early pictures of war’s death and destruction in Spain and China, Life stated, “Dead men have indeed died in vain if live men refuse to look at them.” This last line is crucial, and a…

Fear of a Catholic Ghetto

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ty organized around shared fears that Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Germany were overwhelming the country and acting against white Protestant interests. So the fear of a Catholic ghetto must be understood in light of a real history of Catholics being marginalized during the very time that their health care institutions were taking root. However, the landscape of Catholic health care has changed. Catholic hospital systems are well establish…

Ground Zero is Sacred Space, But Not Just Because of 9/11

By Randall Balmer

…ed in greater numbers in the nineteenth century, from places like Ireland, Germany, and Italy. As with other groups, finding their place in the rich tapestry of American diversity did not always come easy. John Hughes, who became the first archbishop of New York (and the founder of what is now Fordham University), protested the use of the Protestant-inflected King James Version of the Bible in the city’s public schools. His objections prompted the…

Case Against Church-State Separation From Unlikely Source

By Peter Laarman

…rged anti-Semitic and anti-Protestant themes. An agnostic himself, Maurras promoted romantic ideas about a Catholic France purged of Enlightenment toxins—and purged of Jews as well. Of M. Le Pen’s contributions to human happiness, no elaboration is necessary. The biggest historical problem is an apples and oranges issue. Daly appears to believe that were we to just do away with the fusty constitutional barrier, the religious associations and relig…

Perry To Accuse Obama of Appeasement

By Sarah Posner

…1938, Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland was turned into crocodile food for Nazi Germany. The Nazi beast smelled the weakness in the appeasers, ate the food and marched and devoured most of Europe and systematically slaughtered 6,000,000 Jewish people. Hagee used essentially the same rhetoric in a speech at David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend last year. Because Perry is speaking in New York, and with Jewish leaders, the assumption is he’s angling for t…

A Catholic Turnabout on Abortion or More Sympathy for the Bishops?

By Daniel C. Maguire

…. After removing a tumor from the uterus of a pregnant woman, a surgeon in Germany could not stop the bleeding. He removed the non-viable fetus so that the uterus would contract. It did and the woman survived. A priest told the surgeon, who was Catholic, that he had acted wrongly. The surgeon appealed to Fr. Haring who disagreed, contending that the surgeon acted morally and properly as he had saved as much life as was possible. Fr. Haring asked:…

The Islamists vs. The Markets: Egypt’s Election Analyzed

By Haroon Moghul

…Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, or Iceland, or even the United Kingdom and Germany, have any meaningful democratic domestic consensus? Who seriously thinks that the people in those countries have any meaningful options in how their countries respond to the current economic crisis—which affects a whole range of domestic social policy and priorities? And how will the Arab world possibly be any different? The source of much of the Arab world’s recent…

Is Liberalism Islamic?: An Interview with Mustafa Akyol

By Haroon Moghul

…n, such as Menderes of the ’60s, Ozal of the ’80s and most lately Erdogan. Today, the mainstream Islamic view in Turkey is at peace with the secular (but not secularist!) state, and how this came to be is a curious story that I relate in my book. Can you expand on the distinction between the secular state and the secularist state? Sure. A secular state is neutral to religion, and respects religious practices unless they cause harm to individuals….
